Answer:
(0.5, -0.8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since midpoint divides the line PQ into ratio of 1:1
let midpoint be R with coordinates (x,y).
P( 2.5, -4.3) be x1 , y1 and Q (-1.5,2.7) be x2, y2
so , using Section formula,
x = (x1 + x2) / 2
= (2.5 + (-1.5) )/ 2
= 1/2 = 0.5
y = (y1 + y2)/ 2
= (-4.3 + 2.7)/2
= - 1.6 / 2
= - 0.8
midpoint = (0.5, -0.8)
